Posted March 15, 200520 yr Has this been booted , and if so , how do you tell the original from the boot ? Someone has also showed me a copy with labels reversed . Is that an original ?
March 15, 200520 yr Has this been booted , and if so , how do you tell the original from the boot ? Someone has also showed me a copy with labels reversed . Is that an original ? link Never booted? Original is green and white label, although some argue that there is a rarer first issue on a red label. Never seen either a red label or a boot myself (who would have bothered booting a record that was easy to come by at the time?). WOOF!
March 16, 200520 yr Never saw a reversed labels copy but assume they may well exist but its the same track both sides anyway but just a spoken intro which is part 2 and it goes on for about 7 days.. But never booted just as the dog barked also never seen the RED one..I think its a SOUL MYTH until someone shows me it I,ll belive its a legend. regards gasher

The Red part takes the place of the White at the top half of the label and bottom half is Green. OK, it was on ebay. I saw it about 2 years ago and it went for over $650 I think The scan was clear, but I don't know how accurate the colours were, but it looked more of a Browny-Red than Red. And it was completely battered. I think he listed it at either VG- or G+. The scan looked shocking, the vinyl was scuffed to buggery and couldn't believe what it went for God knows what it played like! Incidently, having read the above posts, mine must have reversed labels, because the 'known' side is Part 2 on mine. I just never thought to question it, just assumed that Part 1 wasn't the good side!!! Jamie Edited March 16, 200520 yr by Jamie

March 17, 200520 yr I think the Part 2 spoken intro is fantsmagorical but just goes on too long..the record not the intro And I may be wrong.. Is part one the short version ?? maybe MY labels are reversed..Who can confirm?? the gasher
March 17, 200520 yr I think that when this turned up in the 80s (?) Ian Clark had something to do with it and maybe getting it re-pressed very soon after the original(very small) first press, there is also a LOU Ragland connection with the disc as i think it originates from Cleveland Ohio and may have been done just before lou moved to Las Vegas. For what its worth I have never seen the "orig" and my copy plays the way it should !

Never seen a red Jan Jones, unless by a marker pen. Ian did track down the label owner and bought a lot of copies in c 1983 - not sure if they were represses or just unsold copies from the guy's garage. Jimmy Brinson was also connected, and I heard Jan died in a car crash. We had a picture of her on the cover of Blackbeat playing her guitar.

Or Red / White like the other Day-Wood releases? I remember the one I saw going for a huge sum, surely can't have been a hoax? Cheers, Jamie
